Israeli occupation of Palestine caused by US Veto?

A story with two sides?

I'm a big believer that there are two sides to every story and when I first started taking a deep interest in the Palestine / Israeli conflict, it was with the perspective that each side would be at fault in different ways. While I still believe that every individual can strive to do better, as I researched the situation further, I became horrified at the atrocities that the Israelis were committing and the strong bias that the international press, particularly the American press had against Palestine.

Perhaps, like I used to think, you believe both sides should simply make peace with each other? If so, here are some statistics (as of 28 June 2015) that help show why Palestine is the victim and why the international focus should be on stopping the Israeli occupation:

There have been over 90 UN Resolutions targeting Israel, but only 1 UN Resolution targeting Palestine.

The US have vetoed 42 UN Resolutions against Israel (scroll down for a list).

In the 2014 Gaza occupation there were over 1500 Palestinian civilians killed and 6 Israeli civilians killed. Over 99.5% of civilian casualties were Palestinian!

Over 28,000 Palestinian homes have been destroyed to create 262 Jewish only settlements. No Israeli homes have been destroyed and there are no illegal Palestinian settlements.

The US gives $9 million USD every day to Israel as 'aid' - roughly $500 USD per year to each and every Israeli, but doesn't give anything to Palestine.

The US - The only country to support Israel

If we accept that our focus should be on stopping the Israeli occupation and restoring Palestinian land, where does the US fit in to all of this? On 42 separate occasions they were the only country to support Israel, let's start with that!

The United Nations was founded in 1945 with the aim of maintaining international peace and developing friendly relations between countries and better human rights. With this focus in mind, over 90 security council resolutions have been raised against Israel. Tragically between 1972 and 2014, the US vetoed 42 different security council resolutions against Israel, preventing the world from charging them with war crimes and removing any external reason why Israel would look for a peaceful solution time and time again.

In every single one of the 42 Resolutions, the USA was the ONLY country to vote against the resolution, ALL other countries either voted for it or abstained!

Details of each of the resolutions the USA vetoed is shown below. There are two core questions that need answering:

How can the Veto system be modified in order to ensure that the UN can serve its original purpose of maintaining international peace?
